Salmon Falls Resort is an intimate full-service waterfront resort in Ketchikan, Alaska that has announced an extended booking season through Oct. 1, 2020. Situated at the southernmost entrance to Alaska’s iconic Inside Passage (and located just 90 minutes from Seattle), the resort is unveiling incredible all-inclusive travel specials and thrilling new offerings for travelers seeking last-minute trips and boundless outdoor explorations. We love the idea of getting out and enjoying the fresh air, and Salmon Falls Resort is rolling out the red carpet of opportunities…

Due to the lack of cruise ships this year, there have been huge changes to the Alaskan eco-system, and has resulted in a second run of Coho Salmon, which is rare for this time of year. More fish combined with an influx of consumers looking for a convenient escape in the United States’ great outdoors led to the extended season. The resort will also be opening six weeks earlier in 2021 due to the increased demand. The vast natural splendor in the midst of the Tongass National Forest on Revillagigedo Island lends itself to adventure and social distancing.

“We are thrilled to introduce an extended season with exciting new programming and favorable rates in a time when travelers are seeking a change from their daily routines,” said Matt Herod, General Manager. “Salmon Falls Resort is an accessible and safe destination surrounded by the world’s most beautiful scenery, yet just a short flight away from the West Coast.”

With just 51 rooms, the resort has catered to discerning travelers for more than 30 years. It is best known for its majestic setting and world-class salmon fishing. Ketchikan has been called “The Salmon Capital of the World,” and the area is beloved for its rich Alaskan culture and breathtaking wilderness.
